Low VOC Gym Flooring

Achieving exceptional indoor air quality is a top priority in today’s fitness facilities. Low VOC gym flooring is engineered to minimize the emission of volatile organic compounds, supporting a healthier environment for athletes, staff, and visitors. On this page, you’ll find essential information about low VOC flooring options, the benefits for gyms and health clubs, and how choosing the right certified solution delivers both performance and peace of mind.

Why Low VOC Matters for Gym, Health, and Fitness Club Flooring

Indoor air quality is a critical factor in any athletic environment—where athletes, staff, and visitors spend extended time training, competing, and supporting well-being. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that can off-gas from building materials, including traditional gym flooring, and negatively affect the air you breathe. Elevated VOC emissions have been linked to respiratory irritation and discomfort, particularly in high-activity spaces like gyms and fitness clubs.

Low VOC gym flooring is designed to minimize these emissions, helping to create healthy sports floors that meet strict air quality standards. Prioritizing low VOC solutions reduces exposure to unwanted chemicals, supporting the long-term health and comfort of everyone using your facility.

How Junckers Delivers Healthy Sports Floors Without Compromise

Junckers combines industry-leading craftsmanship with a commitment to healthy indoor environments. Our low VOC gym flooring is engineered from solid hardwood, offering superior resilience and aesthetic appeal while meeting the most stringent U.S. emissions standards. Whether specified for new builds or renovations, Junckers delivers floors that never compromise on performance, air quality, or durability.

Junckers’ commitment to sustainability extends beyond using responsibly sourced beech, ash, and maple—our manufacturing processes ensure low emissions at every stage. All hardwood sports floors are available in FSC®-certified options, supporting your green building objectives.

Certified Low VOC Emissions

Every Junckers sports floor is tested and certified for low VOC emissions. Our systems comply with EN 14904, the European standard for indoor sports surfaces, and meet U.S. air quality requirements. Documentation such as Environmental Product Declarations and FSC® certificates is readily available, giving sport architects, specifiers, and facility operators confidence in their flooring choice.

Pre-finished Surfaces for Fast, Clean Installation

Junckers floors are factory-finished with durable lacquers or oils, which means less dust, fewer odors, and minimal disruption during installation. This approach allows your gym or fitness club to return to full operation quickly, supporting both air quality and project efficiency.

Sub-construction: The foundation for your gym floor

Sub-construction refers to the underlying structure that supports the surface of a fitness floor. The sub-construction of a fitness floorplays a critical role in the overall performance and safety. A well-constructed sub-floor and sub-structure provide a stable foundation for the surface, ensuring that the floor remains level and does not warp or buckle over time. They also help to absorb shock and reduce the impact on the athletes' joints, helping to prevent injuries.

At Junckers you can choose between a wide variety of sub-constructions that will fit any need you might have.
